DescriptionPictorial map of Middlesex County, Connecticut, with the names of its towns, their dates of settlement and incorporation, and small drawings of notable landmarks or events. The cartouche, which is in the form of a tavern sign, includes a banner with the words "League of Women Voters," the seal of Middlesex County, and three historic buildings, the Samuel Hubbard house, the Beldon Library, and a blacksmith shop. At the upper right is the seal of the Friendly Association of Upper Middletown.. Additional small images of the Seth Wetrmore house, the Leatherman, and the docks in Cromwell are in the lower margin.
Label TextThe Tricentennial of Connecticut's founding in 1636 inspired a number of historical maps during the 1930s. This map of Middlesex County includes vignettes by S. Jerome Hoxie, an artist from Stonington, Connecticut, who also illustrated maps of Hartford County, Tolland County and New London County, the county in which Stonington is located. All four maps were published by the League of Women Voters.
